Uhuru sues the Star over Hague photograph

Uhuru said the story was was meant to portray him as "a thug whose exploits are worse than the most vile mafia operative" and as a man who will kill anyone along his way to state house.

The story also implied "that if the petitioner becomes the next president of Kenya he will be the most depraved president the country will ever know," reads part of the application.

Uhuru wants the court to issue a permanent injunction restraining the Star from publishing the said words or any other hate speech concerning him and that publishing the story was a violation of his rights.

The suit has not yet been received at the offices of the Star. The offending photo showed a picture of man similar to Thuo with Uhuru in the Hague during the confirmation of charges last September.
